around after a tough presidential debate last night. he was more full more aggressive. watching this on a split screen it may have hardened them on both sides with biden laughing and interrupting ryan. >> this benghazi issue would be a tragedy in and of itself but unfortunately it is indicative of a broader problem. what we are watching is the unravelling of the obama foreign policy which is making the world more chaotic and us less safe. >> we did not know they wanted more security. by the way, at the time we were told exactly -- we said exactly what the intelligence community told us they knew. that was the assessment. as the intelligent changed their view we made it clear they changed their view. >> but biden did something his boss nailed to do last week at

for number two. if you liked one he was likeable the other wasn't i don't think it has any effect whatsoever on the vote. the question is will it effect the de lates that are coming up? that's the heavy weight stuff between obama and romney. the one advantage that biden laid down is in the you'll arguments he made the point that had been left out of the first debate. what he was trying to do was to set the premises for the up coming debate by filling in the larynx by answering the charges romney had made and obama had left unanswered. >> was this bv bee late a game changer? let's ask. democratic strategist. michelle talk with the economy. on that topic who came out on top? >> paul ryan came out on top. he did a great job continuing

they wanted more security there. at congressional hearings this week charlene lamb and eric nordstrom confirmed there were requests for more security. are you surprised biden's statement? >> there are 100 explanations we have gotten from them. isn't that stunning compared to what we have seen in the last four weeks. it is another reason why they are offering alternative on foreign policy american strengths and values. >> how dowdy fend vice president's comments on benghazi? >> i think the vice president made a very important point. there is an investigation underway right now so we can find out exactly what happened and if there were mistakes made. we shouldn't politicize the issue we should wait until it comes through. if people should be held accountable they should be. the president has been very tough on terrorists around the

world, osama bin laden all of the top opportunities has been taken out the one responsible for the kenyan embassy bombing. the president has been tough. these attacks on the president's foreign policy record are unfair. >> the two candidates had conflicting statements on medicare. where is the truth? >> it was funny. this is what i found to be most shocking. vice president biden bragged about the fact that he extended medicare for 8 years or 12 years until 2024. which isn't something to be excited about. somebody 53 years or younger isn't going to see medicare. he is offering solution for sustainable programs that will last for future generations. >> i am sorry. we have to leave it there. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> good debate. >> it is time for your 5@5:30. attorney general eric holder is being investigated for hundreds of millions of dollars of
